I flew Aeroflot from Moscow to Leningrad back in June of 1988...... very scary......

I’ve flown Aeroflot from Delhi to Singapore, Kabul to Tashkent, Tashkent to Alma Ata, Alma Ata to Moscow, and Moscow to Helsinki, all a LONG time ago, on Russian aircraft.

The only one of these that was “scary” was the flight from Tashkent to Alma Ata in a plane that looked and felt like a bomber conversion. The thing had seats made of aluminum frames and nylon mesh, fer cryin’ out loud, and the pilot flew the thing like it was a fighter jet. Passenger comfort was the LAST thing on his mind.

But, the flight was a successful one, as my present typing attests.
